Multiphase chemistry

The atmosphere is a complex medium in which several phases coexist gas, aerosol particles, condensed water, liquid, and ice particles. All of the interactions that may occur between these various phases are included in the term multiphase or heterogeneous chemistry. Clouds favor the development of atmospheric multiphase chemistry, as they are composed of all three atmospheric phases (i.e., gas, liquid, and solid phases that stimulate a full set of reactions). Moreover, clouds modify radiative properties by diffusion of short-wavelength radiation coming from...

Let us first consider briefly the sources of nitrate in the troposphere aqueous phase. In modelling tropospheric multiphase chemistry, a number of more or less recognized gas phase and aqueous phase reactions are included which produce nitric species. We focus on the following main modes leading to nitrate within a droplet ...
